Maybe. People have had issues with pops comics in the past. Buyer beware.

 

(Personally I think their prices are too high but maybe that's just me.)

[MikeinHI]

that's good to know... thanks!

I've dealt with Pops, they're legit. The book is slabbed, so you have nothing to worry about. You just have to decide if you want to pay their price, which is on par with most dealers you'll find at a show.

I think the big issue people had with Pop's stems from back when they used to sell mainly raw and would avoid giving a book an actual grade and bury the descriptions of the flaws in massive blocks of text - and sometimes not altogether in one place.

 

I will say that while their prices aren't cheap - they don't seem absurdly high either - and many books do have a best offer option.

I used to own that book. Sold it in 2001 or so. The only thing that should be added to the description is that the reason for the 6.0 is a light crease running down the middle of the front cover, similar to a subscription crease but it doesn't go the length of the book.

Think it was them had my old Headline 8 a couple of weeks ago for $550. I asked about it and they said they forwarded my question to the owner from whom I never heard from. which is ok, I was just curious. It was the first book I ever owned that popped up later that I knew was mine.

This is somewhat typical for Ohio copies, is it not?

You'll get the book that is advertised.

 

They have interesting books in their auctions.

 

I always wondered who paid their asking price?
